LPV reduced myofiber CSA in the diaphragm. (a), immunofluorescence staining for slow–twitch and fast–twitch fibers; The cross–sectional areas (CSA) of both slow–twitch (b) and fast–twitch (c) myofibers in the LPV and the CV groups were significantly decreased as compared with the CON group; In addition, CSA of diaphragm myofibers in the LPV group were significantly lower than that in the CV group. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 vs. CON group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 vs. CV group
